3.Harbour
Spelled “harbor” in AmE, it‟s
a place on the coast where ships may moor in shelter. It‟s an area protected from rough water by piers, jetties, and other artificial or natural structures. Some harbours are considered natural because the “structures” that protect the coast are part of their natural topography

6.Wharf and Quay
I know,wk.baidu.comquay has a weird pronunciation, doesn‟t it?
Well, that‟s English. I have to admit when I heard people pronouncing “Lonsdale „Key‟” I though “what the heck? don‟t they know how to pronounce „kway‟?”. It turned out I was wrong, touché . Both wharf and quay are platforms (made of concrete, stone, or metal) lying alongside or projecting into water for loading and unloading vessels. It has one or more berths where vessels can moor to it. Berths are kind of small and narrow piers, like branches of the quay/wharf.You can see a lot of them between the boats in the San Francisco Fisherman‟s Wharf picture. According to some people from US, quay is not a very commonly used word; in Canada though it is.
Further to this there are also several port types where different trade
restrictions apply: 1. Free Ports, ports where international trade can be conducted with less strict Customs regulations, so saving time on paperwork and bottomline costs. Very useful if looking to transship cargo through a regional hub port. For that reason many regional hubs tend to have Free Port Zones. An example of this is Yangshan in China, Shanghai's deep water port.

A harbour tends to be a physical
area where water meets land and results in a sheltered bay, such as Botany Bay in New South Wales, Australia. It may also be a result of an area of water enclosed by human intervention such as the building of breakwaters in the open sea.A good example of this is Portland Harbour in the United Kingdom.
A good example of this is Sydney, new South Wales, Australia
where the port contains several harbours, including Port Jackson, North and Middle Harbours.
2. Port
A location on a shore containing one
or more harbors where ships can dock and transfer cargo/people to/from land. These locations can be huge and sometimes become the main economic activity of a city. In the premises of a port you will usually find a lot of stacked shipping containers as well as lined up cranes. It differentiates from a harbour as it involves all the warehouses, container parks and wharves, whereas harbour is only the enclosed/protected water area.

1.preface
During my trip to Canada I stayed in a coastal city –
Vancouver – where I heard these words a lot. Being born and raised in a Brazilian inland city – Blumenau – the definition of those words were overlapping inside my head; I couldn‟t understand their differences and neither could some native Canadians. When I asked them some would stop to think about it and start discussing with each other whether a specific place is a quay or harbour, for instance. Now, after researching (i.e. googling) for a while, I‟m here to share with you what I‟ve found.
a common-user facility under the control of the Port Authority or third party.
5.Dock
It‟s not easy to define it as there are
differences between AmE and BrE. In BrE, a dock is an enclosed area of water where vessels enter to load/unload goods or get some kind of maintenance done. It‟s artificially made and the water inside it is typically controllable by gates which avoids tide variation. A dock in BrE can also be a dry one which is used besides for vessels maintenance for their whole construction. When it comes to the AmE, a dock is synonymous with wharf, quay, or pier.
There are two types of terminal:
1. those within coastal often sheltered waters with a land
bridge, such as Jose Gas Terminal in Venezeula.
2. those in open often deep water exposed to the elements
Port Metro Vancouver
A port is defined as an area on both land and water, whether on
the sea or river, that provides facilities for shipping vessels to load and unload their cargo. This area, contained within 'port limits', will have been established over years of increasing or declining trade patterns and therefore is defined as the 'human set limits'. There may be several harbours and/or terminals within the port limits.
2. Closed Ports, ports where foreign trade vessels are barred and only
national coastal traffic is handled. This is the case with some feeder ports especially Japan. This may be down to a number of reasons, but usually due to the fact there are no Immigration or Customs authorities based at or near the port. It also protects the national fleet from being undercut by cheaper foreign vessels.
